There is a play we are doing and we need to right the whole script. As shown below you will find the 6 scenes we will be playing and what will happen in each scene. I

am responsible of writing the script and dialogues of the third scene between daisy and the sister of gatsby. Please write down 3 pages of the script of the 3rd scene.

thank you.

First scene: the location is in the art gallery where the sister of Gatsby is the painter and selling her paintings. The gallery opening is in the honor of Daisy the

friend of gatsby’s sister whom really appreciates art. Gatsby funds the art gallery through his company named T.G.G with no questions asked because he knows how much

Daisy loves art and he hopes he can win her back after 5 years of being separated. In this scene we see people moving around the gallery looking at paintings including

Daisy. We can have like a small general conversation between daisy and the sister. But Gatsby is out of the picture in this scene. Later the sister invites daisy and

some of her friends in the gallery to a tea party the next day. This is where the second scene begins.

In the second scene after people greet each other they start talking And wondering who was funding this gallery that suddenly appeared out of no where, gossip starts,

everyone is talking about the company (T.G.G) which is very questionable since it is included in so many projects but no one really knows who owns it. The name Gatsby

arises in the middle of all the gossip, daisy hears his name and becomes in shock.

In the third scene, still at the tea party, everyone leaves as the party is over, just as Daisy is leaving, the sister asks to speak to her, she tells her the truth

about Gatsby being back to newyork, that he owns T.G.G and the he was funding the gallery wanting to win daisy back, he also bought all the paintings as a gift for

daisy, so a deep conversation takes place between daisy and the sister of gatsby. Daisy expresses that she is a married women now and she has 2 kids, she is settled,

all that she had with gatsby in the past was special but over. She refuses to take the paintings except for 1 as a memory of gatsby And she leaves the tea party.

The fourth scene is in the house of Daisy where she explains to her husband who is never around but always at work what happened at the tea Party. The husband is

furious especially that he saw this one painting she took and he feels like his wife may still have feelings for gatsby and so he decides to take gatsby down, he diggs

into his past and collaborates with the police until the found corruption on his company with money laundering.

The fifth scene we see gatsby sitting in his home with his sister depressed that daisy wont take him back, his sister tries and make him feel better until sudddenly

the cops comes into his home and takes him to jail.

When looked at from an American perspective, World War II is often referred to as a “good war.” Journalist Tom Brokaw described the generation of Americans who fought in World War II as “the Greatest Generation.” A Gallup poll conducted in 2000 showed that more than 50 percent of Americans had a negative opinion of the Vietnam War and that nearly seven out of 10 Americans (69%) believed it had been a mistake to become involved in Vietnam.
First, explain how you define what a ‘good war’ might be according to you. Next, discuss whether the American involvement in World War II and the Vietnam War meets the criteria of a good war that you set forth (here you need to discuss both the reasons why America became involved as well as the conduct of war).

“Just War Theory”
Dorbolo, Jon. “Just War Theory.” Oregon State University 2001. http://oregonstate.edu/instruct/phl201/modules/just_war_theory/criteria_intro.html

Just War Theory:
is the basis on which nations seek to legally and morally justify going to war. Not all nations concern themselves with such justifications (e.g. Nazi Germany.) The United States does explicitly recognize Just War Theory as criteria for engaging in war. Thus, the criteria of Just War Theory are a primary basis for discussion and debate about US war actions.

The history of Just War Theory begins in the works of some important philosophers. Augustine (354-430) provides a foundation for Just War Theory in Western literature. Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274) codified Augustine’s reflections into the distinct criteria that remain the basis of Just War Theory as it is used today. The need by a civil society to provide sound justification for going to war is one of the many practical influences that Philosophy has on our lives.

There are two traditional categories of requirements for just wars.

BulletJUS AD BELLUM The conditions required for justly going to war; the right to go to war.

JUST AUTHORITY: The first condition in Just War Theory is Just Authority, also known as Competent Authority. A just war must be initiated by a political authority within a political system that allows distinctions of justice. Dictatorships (i.e. Hitler’s Regime) or a deceptive military actions (i.e. the 1968 US bombing of Cambodia) are typically considered as violations of this criterion. The importance of this condition is key. Plainly, we cannot have a genuine process of judging a just war within a system that represses the process of genuine justice. A just war must be initiated by a political authority within a political system that allows distinctions of justice.
JUST CAUSE: This is the central condition for many discussions over the justification of a war. If a Just Cause cannot be shown, many people will reject the call to war. Now, almost all nations and leaders who wage war claim to do so on the basis of a Just Cause. Iraq, for instance, explicitly claimed to have a Just Cause in its 1990 invasion of Kuwait. It is not enough to simply claim to have a Just Cause. We must be able to show that some wrong has been committed by one nation for which war is the proper redress by another. Unprovoked aggression, such as an invasion, fits clearly within the criteria of a Just Cause. Few would deny a nation the right to defend itself against unprovoked attack. The defense of an ally against an aggressor is also generally considered a clear Just Cause.
JUST INTENTION: The Just Intention (or Right Intention) condition in Just War Theory sets a limit to the extent of the war. Even given a Just Authority and a Just cause, it is possible for a warring state to go beyond the bounds of its justification. In the 1991 Gulf War against Iraq, the coalition forces led by the US stopped short of invading and occupying Baghdad. In answer to the criticisms of this action, US military leaders pointed out that the Just Cause and sole objective of the war was to liberate Kuwait from Iraqi occupation. Having achieved that objective, the limit of the justification for prosecution of the war had been reached and a ceasefire was negotiated. Calls to occupy Iraq, assassinate Saddam Hussein, or use nuclear weapons clearly exceeded the authority of the US and UN action. A just war is limited to the pursuit of the avowed just cause. A just war is limited to the pursuit and securing of the Just Cause.
LAST RESORT: War is morally permissible only when no other means to achieving the Just Cause is possible. This means that the nation considering war has exhausted all potential solutions, including political and diplomatic. This condition seems to mitigate against the national pride that sometimes leads to war as the resort of choice. A nation may have to compromise and negotiate to win solution short of war. But at least, the condition of last resort requires that political and diplomatic approaches to a solution have been fully attempted.
bulletJUS IN BELLO The conditions required for the just conduct of war; the right conduct in war. The criteria provide standards of conduct for nations, armies, and individual soldiers at war. Some people have the idea that in war, anything goes; “all’s fair in love and war.” But this is never the case in any war. Armies maintain some standards of lawful vs. criminal behavior. Armies have police, prisons, and courts. It is true that some armies show no legal or moral restraint when it comes to the treatment of the enemy (some are hostile to their own populations), but those are militaries that act contrary to the Just War criteria and usually in violation the international rule of law. Such stares or individuals are often held accountable by domestic or international law. There are, however, many cases where war crimes are not prosecuted or redressed. Just War Theory is a philosophical idea and can be used as the basis of a legal process. We are using the criteria to judge cases of war acts. Here are three of the key criteria for just (or justifiable) behavior in war:

PROPORTIONALITY. The proportionality of the use of force in a war. The degree of allowable force used in the war must be measured against the force required to correct the Just cause and limited by Just Intention (see Jus Ad Bellum).
DISCRIMINATION. The combatants discriminate between combatants and noncombatants. Innocent, nonmilitary people should never be made the target of attacks.
RESPONSIBILITY. A country is not responsible for unexpected side effects of its military activity as long as the following three conditions are met:
(a) The action must carry the intention to produce good consequences.
(b) The bad effects were not intended.
(c) The good of the war must outweigh the damage done by it.
How these criteria are are to be interpreted and fulfilled is an issue of ongoing discussion among philosophers, politicians, and military planners. In order for a civil society to maintain itself such that the commission of unjust wars is preventable, there must be and critical discussion by the citizens.

The purpose of this assignment is to analyze portrayals of attraction in more detail through the media. To begin, select a media source – TV show, movie, novel, song,

etc.- that demonstrates elements of attraction. In your written response, you must identify THREE concepts from Chapter 10 that appear in your selection – you may

choose to analyze more than one source to capture all THREE concepts if desired but cannot analyze the SAME concept in more than one source. You need to 1) provide an

explanation of the concept in your own words, 2) provide an example and 3) explain why the example is an appropriate illustration of your concept.

For example, let’s say you pick the concept of similarity and analyze the TV show Saved by the Bell. You should first explain how similarity is thought to influence

attraction in your own words. Next, briefly describe a relevant scene or relationship from the show, making sure to explain how this example demonstrates the concept:

Zach Morris and Kelly Kapowski are both popular and good looking students in high school. Because they share these similarities, they are likely to be interested in

each other and in fact flirt and/or date in many episodes. **This is just a brief example, your three concepts should be explained in more detail.*
